Hey there, I’m Joanne!

I’m an Australian-American screenwriter, author, and producer, with a knack for writing underdog and outsider characters across multiple genres. I’m also a member of the Writers’ Guild of Great Britain, Australian Writers’ Guild, British Film Institute, and a writer at The Royal Court Theatre in London with their Writers Card playwriting community. 

I was honored to receive a Best Feature Screenplay Finalist Award in the UK from The Golden Script Competition for ‘Sex, Drugs & Crow’s Feet’ which was also a nominee at the New Media Film Festival in Los Angeles. Alongside that, my short film scripts, ‘Be Careful What You Ask For’, ‘The Magic Mirror,’ and ‘Hypnagogia’ earned their spot on The Red List, making them top-rated scripts on Coverfly, the industry’s largest talent-screenwriter platform in the US.

My debut children’s book series, Tommy Tofu, is available at Waterstones and Foyles in the UK, Dymock’s in Australia, and on Amazon. I also have a collection of novellas and flash fiction stories available on Amazon. You can go directly to my book page here
